Today, I’m going to break down a simple 3-funnel framework that helps solopreneurs turn their skills into sales (without burning out on complicated systems).
If you’re juggling a 9–5 and trying to build something on the side, the last thing you need is a 50-step marketing playbook.
This framework keeps things light, simple, and low-effort…
So you can start monetizing without feeling like you’ve taken on another full-time job.
Here’s what you can expect from using this system:
- A way to monetize your skills faster without overwhelm.
- A system that works even if you’re short on time.
- Confidence that you’re building real leverage, not just chasing likes.
- Proof that you can grow without spending thousands on ads or tools.
Unfortunately, most solopreneurs go wrong by overcomplicating things:
- They copy big agencies running 10 different funnels.
- They spread themselves too thin across every platform.
- They confuse “busy work” with growth.
The result? Burnout, shiny-object chasing, and no real income.
No Funnel, No Freedom
Forget the idea that you need 15 funnels, 7 offers, and a team of VAs before you make money. You don’t.
No tricks or hacks here—just simple, proven tactics you can actually run without burning out.
- Monetize skills quickly, without overwhelm
- Simple system that fits your busy life
- Build real leverage, not vanity metrics
- Grow without big ad spend or tools
And the best part? It’s repeatable. Once you set it up, it runs with minimal effort.
How to Build a 3-Funnel System in 3 Steps
- Create a Simple Freebie
- Write a 3-Email Sequence
- Build a One-Page Offer
Step 1: Create a Simple Freebie
Your funnel can’t start without a front door. A freebie is the fastest way to get attention and escape the grind of posting endlessly with nothing to show for it.
This can be:
- A simple free resource (like a guide or checklist).
- A free webinar or mini-training.
- Even a free call if you’re service-based.
👉 Action Plan:
- Pick 1 freebie you can create this weekend (a checklist, a template, or a 10-min Loom video).
- Use Canva or Google Docs—don’t overthink design (I even have ready-to-go Canva templates you can use).
- Share it on LinkedIn, Twitter, or in a relevant FB group with a simple CTA: “Drop your email and I’ll send you this free guide.”
You’ll have your first handful of leads in days, not months.
Step 2: Write a 3-Email Sequence
Most solopreneurs lose momentum here. They collect emails but never follow up—so new leads forget them or worse, see them as spammy when the pitch finally comes.
Instead, send a short sequence that actually builds trust:
- A 3–5 email sequence sharing stories + quick wins.
- A weekly newsletter that gives real value.
- A mix of free tips and client case studies.
👉 Action Plan:
- Write a 3-email sequence (draft in Notion or Google Docs first).
Email 1: Share your personal story + why you care about solving this problem.
Email 2: Teach 1 quick win (something they can try in 10 minutes).
Email 3: Show proof (results from you or someone else) and build anticipation for your offer.
New leads immediately see you as a helpful authority, not another spammy pitch.
Step 3: Build a One-Page Offer
This is where the payoff happens—finally turning leads into clients. The beauty? You don’t need a fancy sales funnel; just one simple page works.
This funnel is just an invitation—not a pushy pitch.
- Offer your core service (clear, specific, valuable).
- Show results or transformations.
- Make it easy to buy (Calendly link, checkout page, or DM).
👉 Action Plan:
- Create 1 simple offer page (Carrd, Notion, or even a Google Doc works).
- Add: what you do, how it helps, proof/results, and a clear CTA (book a call or pay link).
- Send new leads there at the end of your 3-email sequence, and mention it casually in your weekly emails.
A steady trickle of clients coming from a system you set up once.
✨ Keep it simple.
✨ Keep it consistent.
And let your funnels do the heavy lifting while you focus on delivering great work.
